Can You Release the Clutch Directly After Shifting to Second Gear?
1 Answers
You cannot release the clutch directly after shifting to second gear. After shifting to second gear, you should gently lift the clutch and slowly apply the throttle—do not release the clutch immediately. Releasing the clutch too quickly: After pressing the clutch and completing the shift, the car's speed has not yet increased, so the clutch must be released gradually. Releasing the clutch too abruptly can cause the engine to stall. You can wait until the clutch is fully released before applying the throttle, as coordinating the clutch and throttle requires considerable skill. Proper clutch usage: Only press the clutch pedal when braking at speeds below 20 km/h; pressing the clutch at higher speeds does not aid braking performance. Of course, during emergency braking, you should press both the brake and clutch pedals simultaneously.
